Just thought I'd add a bit of humour and reality to the poem. Sometimes being too positive despite bad stuff does get exhausting and you just want to scream and vent about it. Life is too tough sometimes to always be cheerful, I find.

haha... I Found it funny :) That is kinda how I usually think too. I try to build myself up during bad days but then at the end, somedays you just say "oh, to hell with it. Gimme my booze and let me howl!"

Glad you could relate to the humour, Roshan. I like to try and keep positive as much as possible but some days you just give up when you get dumped on so much that you can't take it anymore. Gimme my booze and let me howl is right! LOL!

Just the sight of those cookies makes me forget all the bad that's happened through the day! :P

My favorite "feel good" food is jeera-aloo sabji, paratha, and a big cup of hot tea! You might not be able to relate to these food items (except the tea of course). I'll do a post on it after the A to Z. Will take some pics when I make this menu next.

I am particpating in the Barathon with the blogging group, Blog a Rhythm for the week of June 14 to 30th, a fortnight of blogging as they say in India. I almost forgot that a fortnight means two weeks. Such a fun British term.

Today's prompt is "The Fault in our Stares." The theme for the week is "Seven" which I have no idea how to incorporate into today's post, other than this memory took place in the 19 SEVENties. There, I did it! PHEW!

This is a memory I have of volunteering as a candy striper in a hospital when I was about thirteen. A loud garbled
cry comes from the small shrunken man in the hospital bed. He drools from the
side of his sagging mouth, his red tinged eyes pleading, as he tries to get my
attention. I have just
started working as a candy striper and Monsieur Couvrette scares me with his
pitiful cries and pathetic look. Most of the time, I try to avoid him as he
seems so angry. He lies in
the bed, sad, helpless, shriveled and shrunken, his skin…

I wasn't thinking of doing the A to Z Challenge this year but reading everyone else's Theme Reveal has gotten me enthused and remembering how much fun it is to do.

So I guess I'll take the plunge and do my usual "Winging it" style, writing the post on the day it's due. Why change? Planning ahead? Ha! Not my style.

So I have decided that my theme will be: DRUM ROLLLLLLLLL

Poetry, Pics and Prose

These combine my three favourite things and should one fail me one day, the others will surely come to the rescue. I like to have options.

I will try to vary it but some days a photo or a quickly whipped up poem might have to suffice for the day. Prose is harder but I will try when the inspiration hits.

I have been doing the FMS Photo A Day challenge for March and have been enjoying that very much. Those lucky Australians with their beautiful summery beach vistas while Canada is still slogging through the end of winter. So much talent there and so many members. A bit overwhel…

I am participating in the BarAThon with the blogging group, Blog a Rhythm for the weeks of June 14 to 30th. Today's prompt is "War and Pieces." I did a poem for today's challenge. War and Pieces Pieces of shrapnel, pieces of bone Pieces of metal, pieces of stone, Fly-covered corpses, their blood
brownish-red Survivors wish that they, too, were
dead. War hungry maniacs with evil goals Destroying lives and shattering souls, Power hungry men, they always want
more Making life harder for the sick and
the poor, Everywhere, despair increases Such is the life, with war and pieces

I love being creative and expressing myself through writing, art, music or drama.

Writing is my ultimate passion and escape from the mundane daily life of housework and other repetitive duties that can sap the life out of me.

I am an introvert so email and chat are the perfect medium for me. I don't like the phone and avoid it when I can.

I live in a small farming village outside Canada's capitol of Ottawa with my husband and two young adult sons.

I belong to a women's choir where I sing Alto 2 and play flute. I also enjoy scrapbooking and preserving our memories instead of letting the photos sit on the computer where no one sees them. I am trying to combine my two talents of cake decorating and photo book making to help people celebrate their events. My biz website is www.catgrahamcreates.com

I adore cats and have a well photographed mischievous orange Tabby named Kobie and a sweet calico named Daisy. I'd love to have more. We also have red Siberian husky and a Malamute. I must admit that I am a crazy cat lady and prefer cats but dogs are great, too. I even have a Facebook account for our zany Malamute, Loup.

I enjoy Facebook and the Internet far too much. Gotta get that writing done!
